Workers’ compensation insurance for nonprofit organizations is an important policy for any social service to carry. The insurance offers coverage for medical costs and lost wages incurred by employees that have sustained work-related injuries.
For example, if machinery malfunctions and hurts a worker, workers’ comp insurance will pay for the medical care of the injury.
As a nonprofit business owner, it is your responsibility to protect employees when disaster strikes. Every charitable institution should offer its staff workers’ comp insurance. Here’s why.
Cover Injured Employees
In most states, workers’ compensation insurance for nonprofit organizations is required. Depending on the state you operate in and the size of your organization, you might face major fines or even criminal charges if you don’t cover your employees.
In general, if your organization employs 3 or more workers, then you will most likely need to carry a policy.
The overall cost of your insurance policy will depend on the size of your business, your payroll, your industry’s work requirements (classification rate), and your claims history. Typically, the premium is based on every $100 of your organization’s payroll.
